Operating system:Microsoft:Windows:XP:Browser:Ftp:If download .zip 
file,opens blank page, shows icon

---

Possible cause:

A plug-in (e.g. the PKWare plug-in)

---

Possible solution:

Remove that plug-in (e.g. the PKWare plug-in),
e.g. via Microsoft Windows Add/Remove programs.

---

This was a very hard problem to solve.

It persisted e.g. after several Window repairs,
installing Microsoft Windows service pack 1,
installing Microsoft Windows service pack 2.

---

After systematically removing zip related programs it showed
that the PKWare plug-in was the cause in this case.

---

After I removed this plug in via Windows 'Add/Remove' programs
this behavior (=blank screen with icon
on top left) this problem was finally solved.
